What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down in Lincoln (And Where to Take It)
🚘 Stuck in Lincoln? Here’s What to Do Next
🧭 Step 1: Stay Safe First
If your car breaks down while driving, pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. Turn on your hazard lights and, if you're on a fast road or dual carriageway, exit the vehicle from the passenger side and stand well away from traffic.
If you're broken down at home, try to leave enough access space for a recovery truck if one is needed.
📞 Step 2: Call for Breakdown Recovery
If your car isn’t driveable, the next step is to contact your breakdown provider or a local vehicle recovery service in Lincoln. Some common choices include:
-
AA Breakdown: 0800 887766
-
RAC Roadside Assistance: 0330 159 1111
-
Local Recovery Operators in Lincoln (a quick online search can help)
🛞 Step 3: Request Delivery to a Trusted Garage
While many breakdown companies can tow your vehicle to a home address, this doesn’t solve the problem. Instead, ask for your car to be delivered straight to a trusted local garage for diagnosis and repair — saving you time and hassle.
That’s where Andrews Car Centre comes in.
